Looking into PR kern/104406 it seems, that this describes exactly what
I am experiencing on three of my systems over the last weeks. They are
running FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT (known as 7.0-CURRENT not long ago ;-) ).
Actually it sounds nothing like it at all ;)
On these machines I often observe hangings, sometimes only a few
seconds, on other times 20-30 seconds before input/output is back.
This seems to happen when more extensive disk usage is needed
(portupgrade, buildworld, browsing complicated websites etc.). During
the hang even xterm is not responding any more, other (diskless)
applications like xclock keep to continue. I have no panics, only UFS
(and MSDOSFS) are mounted, no NTFS. About two months ago none of my
systems showed these hangings.
Is your system swapping? This is the usual cause of pauses during high
application (actually memory) load.

No, I am working with 2GB RAM, without swapping at all.
In the meantime I tested the above described behaviour a little more.
The hangings even appeared without using Xorg, only working on consoles
under heavy disk usage (portupgrade etc.).
